It's been a while since I played along over at Kaisercraft but I thought that this
sketch would combine perfectly with a rather tricky Heidi Swapp
patterned paper in my kit.

Using a craft knife, I cut along the swirls on the patterned paper and, having mounted my photo onto a rectangle of scrap white card, I slotted it underneath them. Fussy cutting is not my forte but I love the effect.

Rather than follow the sketch strictly with layers of paper under my faux
Polaroid, I used vellum frames, highlighted with white and teal doodling. My kit's organza ribbon softened the patterned paper's horizontal divide.

The trouble with scrapping photos from so long ago, is that I don't have anything special to add by way of journalling. The kids were happy to pose together for once and that was it. Nothing else to say! So I got creative with a date stamp instead; even that didn't go back as far as 2004, so I stamped "15 APR" and then added "04" as best I could.

Gorgeous layout!!! I love the way you framed the picture! I agree - it is hard to journal on older photo layouts!! Love the date stamps!! Thanks for joining us at Frosted Designs for our Clearly Transparent Challenge!!
